Happy Happy man

If you have never been to Berkeley at the beginning of a semester, you should know about the Happy Happy Happy man. He is an 80 yr old man who stands for at least eight hours on top of a bucket yelling slowly and with broken-english articulation "haaaaapy....haaaapy.....haaaaapy" I'm not quite sure what it means but it does get people's attention. He holds up cardboard with theories of doom written all over them. Last year was the disaster Katrina and somehow he came up with a theory about the coming of the end of the world because of it. Now he is on about Israel being terrorist #1. His theories don't seem to be biblically based, but he sure get's upset at the ignorance of Americans when it comes to important world issues.
